Fluid Flow Analysis and Calculations

This document contains 9 problems related to fluid flow through pipes. Problem 1 asks about laminar or turbulent flow for water and oil in a 0.75m diameter pipe moving at 0.1 m/s. Problem 2 calculates flow rate and velocity for a liquid moving at 0.8 m/s through a 150mm diameter pipe. Problem 3 determines pipe diameter and flow type for water moving at 6.5 m3/s and 3 m/s through a pipe.

Tutorial‐ 02

1. A liquid flows along a pipeline 0.75 m diameter at a velocity of 0.1 m/s. State whether flow is
laminar or turbulent if:
a. the liquid is water of density 1000 kg/m3 and dynamic viscosity of 0.001 kg/ms
b. the liquid is oil of density 900 kg/m3 and dynamic viscosity of 0.153 kg/ms.
(Ans Turbulent, Laminar)

2. The velocity of a liquid flowing in a 150mm diameter pipeline is 0.8m/s. The specific gravity of
the liquid is 1.4. Calculate the rate of flow in L/s and m3/s.
(Ans 14.14, 0.01414)

3. Water is required to pass through a pipe at a rate of 6.5 m3/s at a velocity of 3m/s. The water
is to be at 500C, and at this temperature the dynamic viscosity is 0.56 × 10‐3 kg/ms.
Determine:
a. the diameter of pipe required
b. whether the flow will be laminar or turbulent.
(Ans 1.66m, Turbulent)

4. Water flows through a pipeline in which the diameter reduces from 500mm at A to 300mm at B
as shown in Figure. The pipe then forks, one branch has a diameter of 150mm discharging at
C, while the other branch with diameter of 200mm discharges at D. Given that the velocity at
A is 2.0m/s and the velocity at D is 3.6m/s, find discharges at C and D and the velocities at B
and C. (Ans 0.280m3/s, 0.113m3/s, 5.55m/s, 15.82m/s)

5. Water flows in a horizontal pipeline, which gradually converges from 200 mm diameter at
point 1 to 150 mm diameter at 2. If the velocity of flow at 1 is 2 m/s and the pressure head is
15 m, calculate the velocity and pressure at 2.
(Ans 3.56m/s , 142.81kN/m2)

6. water flows through a pipeline of constant diameter that is inclined upwards. On the
centreline of the pipe, point 1 is 0.3m below point 2. The pressure at point 1 is 9.3x103N/m2.
What is the pressure at point 2, if there is no energy loss. (Ans 6357N/m2)

7. Determine the velocity of efflux from the nozzle in the wall of the reservoir of figure. Find
the discharge through the nozzle. (Ans 0.07m3/s)

8. For the frictionless siphon shown below, determine the discharge and the pressure heads at
A and B, given that the pipe diameter is 200 mm and the nozzle exit diameter is 150 mm.
(Ans 0.092m3/s, ‐2.88m, 0.78m)

9. A jet of water from a nozzle is directed vertically upwards. Neglecting any loss of
energy:
(a) determine the velocity of the jet at a point 4.5 m above the nozzle, if the water
leaves the nozzle at a velocity of 12 m/s.
(b) determine the maximum height to which the water will rise.
(Ans 7.46m/s , 7.34m)
